Host A Car Wash: Washdrops advanced technology* is now making car wash fundraisers around the country more environmentally-friendly and more cost efficient.

Sponsored Night Outs: Find a local restaurant willing to donate a percent of their proceeds and invite everyone you know to come have a meal.
